Azilal as its name suggests, takes its origins from the craggy and steep Azilal region, located in the remote and hard to reach High Atlas mountains about 180 km North-East of Marrakech. Handwoven by women of this region only, Azilal carpets are made of virgin raw wool, alternating composed patterns of one single knotted line with one or two woven lines, according to a cultural ritual that mothers are passing down to daughters from generation to generation.
